Patient's question:
All symptoms: The baby is four and a half months old. Recently, when I cook rice porridge, I measure out the rice water and use it to mix formula for the baby. Is this harmful? / Onset time and cause: Treatment: How should I add complementary foods to a four-month-old baby? Desired help: How should the baby have a healthy and reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description, your baby is already 4 months old. In the case of insufficient milk supply, you can start adding complementary foods for your child. Generally, you can add half an egg yolk in the morning, and give your child rice porridge in the afternoon and evening. You can also use formula milk to feed your child. Milk volume is closely related to diet, and if the baby is not frequently breastfed, the milk supply will gradually decrease until it stops. The baby will cry to remind you when it is hungry, sleepy, or wet.It is recommended that you identify the reason for your baby's crying. During breastfeeding, you can drink more lactation-promoting soups, such as papaya soup, crucian carp soup, or pork trotter with soybeans (peanuts) soup. Even if you feel you don't have enough milk, let the baby suck, and don't store milk. Additionally, perform more breast massages.
